Kojima Productions’ Female Ludens Model Kit Will Return

Kotobukiya has announced that it will restock its model kit of the female version of Kojima Production’s mascot character Ludens in December 2024. The company has also opened pre-orders for the new batch at 7,480 yen (~$47.75) apiece.

This restock will apply to the white-armored model kit that Kotobukiya originally revealed in 2019 and released in 2020. The company also produced a black-colored variant of the kit the year after. The non-scale model kit will have an overall height of around 17cm (~6.69 inches) when completed.

Kotobukiya will also bring back the kit’s bonus parts, although they will still be exclusively available on the Kotobukiya Online Shop in Japan. This set will include a clear translucent hair part and three unpainted facial expression parts.

At the same time, Kotobukiya also revealed a 1/12 scale model kit of the Reverse Trike from Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding. This one will be based on the version used by Sam Porter Bridges in the game’s opening. The completed kit will also be compatible with Good Smile Company’s figma of the character.

Pre-orders for the Reverse Trike model kit are immediately available in Japan via Kotobukiya Online Shop at 8,800 yen (~$56), with guaranteed stock if people place orders by June 4, 2024. The company will actually release the kit in September 2024.

Kotobukiya will release the restocked Kojima Productions Female Ludens model kit in December 2024 and the new Reverse Trike model kit from the Death Stranding opening in September 2024.
